Standard Chartered analysts name cryptocurrencies that will reach $ 100 billion in capitalization by the end of the year

The two cryptocurrencies could reach $ 100 billion in capitalization by the end of 2026, despite the difficult market conditions. Analysts highlight Solana and Tron as the assets with the highest growth potential, given their current dynamics and expected infrastructure upgrades.

Solana is currently valued at around $ 45 billion and is trading at around $ 79. To reach $ 100 billion in capitalization, the token should more than double in price to around $ 175. Standard Chartered forecasts predict an increase to $ 250 due to the development of micropayments in stablecoins and the introduction of the new Alpenglow consensus, which should speed up transactions and increase efficiency in the DeFi and NFT segments.

Tron, with a current capitalization of about $ 27 billion and a price of $ 0.28, needs to grow almost 3.7 times to reach $ 100 billion. Market forecasts indicate a possible rise to $ 0.516, which could be supported by an increase in total blocked value and the dominance of USDT transactions in the TRC-20 standard.

Regulatory conditions and institutional participation remain key factors for both assets. For Tron, an additional positive signal was the purchase of more than 177,000 TRX in reserves, which strengthened support near $ 0.27. For Solana, an important level is the $ 80 zone, which could be the starting point for recovery after the correction.

Experts emphasize that reaching $ 100 billion in capitalization will require not only favorable macro factors but also stable investor demand. If the market resumes positive sentiment, Solana and Tron may be among the few altcoins capable of entering the «hundred billion» club in 2026.
